No error, BBM - I just wondered if you came up with the same scores again.


btw I didn't think mine was all that good, as "artic" is, of course, short for "articulated". I'm pleased that I didn't have to apologise!

Many thanks BBM2, I'm pleasantly surprised to have "won". Disregarding my own clue as I usually do, my assessment of the leading entries wasn't very different from yours, although personally I also really liked Les's clever use of "governs = requires" assuming I've parsed it correctly. However, it's all subjective and I get my enjoyment from simply taking part and hopefully producing a clue of an acceptable standard then parsing and enjoying the others although the acknowledgement of one's clue(s) is always appreciated.
Nice clip Marty, I'll try and keep the theme going next week together with a suitable word or phrase. Cheers.

Well done ginge, cheers marty for the word and the mention.

Ginge: There are quite a few words in the thesaurus to qualify the joining of the two words of anagram fodder to work together. I felt that although govern wasn't my first choice, it was certainly the correct word to run with the surface read.
Your offering was a hard one to beat, superb!
